An interesting twist

Published by Karrals

I have been so busy! I wish I could tell you what I’ve been up to, but I’m trying to keep this website as anonymous as possible. So I apologize for the lack of details.

Meanwhile, (and although I haven’t had the time to really take matters into my own hands just yet) things have taken a pretty funky turn.

About 2 or 3 weeks ago, I got back in touch with an old friend of mine by e-mail. He’s completely unrelated to Mr. Synchronicity, by the way. I have to admit I had tried to keep the Synchronicity guy out of my head in the past couple of months, because I really had too much going on already. Then as my old friend and I started writing to each other, I’ll admit that the thought of him actually being a nice potential boyfriend crossed my mind. Especially since he’s a lot more reachable and thus an easier target than Mr. Synchronicity and he’s not too bad looking either. I got a little carried away for a few days (lol), and immediately realized I had to cool off. I wanted to invite him out for lunch or coffee, but didn’t want to do this with the wrong state of mind. I’ve been single for months now, and I’m slowly starting to miss having a boyfriend. So I decided to give myself a few days to chill and figure out which direction I really wanted to go. He is an old friend after all, and he could simply remain a friend if I want to.

Then a quirky little synchronicity happened, which was surprisingly linked to  … my old friend!

The day I had decided to cool off for a few days, I had quickly read over the mails we had exchanged so far, and suddenly wondered where exactly he was living at the moment as he hadn’t mentioned it yet. Then I remembered him telling me 2 years ago that he had moved to a certain town not too far from here, and I randomly wondered what zip code that was. But I had to go and I couldn’t be bothered to look it up. so I closed my laptop and left. The next day, I received an e-mail from someone … it was a guy I had e-mailed a while back about a dining table for sale. The dining table was to be picked up by the buyer at his place, so I had asked him where exactly he was located. A few days passed, and as I got no response, I assumed that the table got sold and didn’t think more of it. So then, exactly one day after wondering about my old friend’s address, I got a message from this seller saying: “Hi, I’m so sorry for the delay. I’m in name of the town + zip code” – I gasped – There it was, right in front of me: the town and zip code I had been too lazy to look up the day before! The place where my old friend lives! Hah! I giggled. This was neat.

I jumped to conclusions and assumed: “Hey, this synchronicity thing must be pointing at whoever could be a good match for me. So it’s not necessarily all about one exclusive soulmate or something.” So I contacted my old friend and asked him if he wanted to meet up and grab something to eat together. (I also found it incredibly ironic how that one e-mail mentioning his town + zip code was actually about a DINING table). So anyway, we decided that a place next to his work would be the most practical, as my schedule is much more flexible than his. So he gave me his office address. It didn’t hit me right away, but I realized a few hours later that it is in fact only 2 streets away from where Mr. Synchronicity works. And on top of it, Mr. Synchronicity’s work is actually  right on my way there. I was a little baffled, and decided to look at a map and see if there was any other way to get there without passing in front of Mr. Synchonicity’s work. Well, there isn’t. It’s right there, and there’s no way to avoid it. My stomach cramped up a little as I realized that it all inevitably spins right back at him!!

My friend and I haven’t decided about the exact day yet, as I’m still pretty busy myself, and he’s got some stuff going on at the moment too. So it will probably be some time in the next few weeks. It would be the icing on the cake if I actually bumped into Mr. Synchronicity on my way there, but let’s not jump to conclusions yet. Whatever the case though, I’m sure this new series of events isn’t just a coincidence, and I’m pretty confident that there’s more to come.

New feature on Karrals: Polls

Published by Karrals
Filed under Polls

Hey everybody! This blog has really grown a lot since I first started, and the number of regular readers is constantly growing. I was looking at it today, and realized we could have a mine of information here. So I decided to start posting polls once in a while.

  1. First. Why polls? Well, we’re all here because we’re looking for answers, and they’re obviously not out there (yet). I initially created this blog to share my experience and figured that if I was lucky I might even get some interesting feedback. Now I realize there’s so many of us out there, all looking for the same answers! I’m not claiming I’ll ever be able to make total sense of it, but my analytical nature makes me want to gather as many details as I can, and perhaps we’ll be able to draw some interesting conclusions.
  2. Second. There is no obligation to respond. However, if you’re here because you have experienced synchronicities, your answers would be very valuable as they might help us shed some light on the subject.
  3. Third. Everything is anonymous. There’s no trick here, and I have no way of knowing who answered what. All I’m interested in is the answers, not where they come from :-)

We’ll start with a basic one: are you male or female? I have a slight feeling most of my visitors are girls/women. And I’m wondering whether this phenomenon occurs more to women or men, or equally to both.

Are you male or female?

There will be more polls in the future. I’ll post them between my regular updates, and hopefully we’ll be able to gather lots of responses over time.

Thanks a lot if you participate! Your answers are greatly appreciated.
